Rep. Dennis Kucinich has sued a U.S. House of Representatives cafeteria for selling him a sandwich wrap that caused dental damage when he bit into a pitted olive, according to a Jan. 3 lawsuit filed in Superior Court for the District of Columbia.I thought Congress had a Cadillac health care plan that should have paid for all that?
The Cleveland Democratic congressman's lawsuit seeks $150,000 in damages from companies that operate the Longworth House Office Building's cafeteria.
It says he bought the suspicious sandwich wrap "on or about April 17, 2008," and eating it caused "permanent dental and oral injuries requiring multiple surgical and dental procedures."
"Said sandwich wrap was unwholesome and unfit for human consumption in that it was presented to contain pitted olives, yet unknown to plaintiff, contained an unpitted olive or olives which plaintiff did not reasonably expect to be in the food prepared for him, and could not visually detect prior to consumption," the lawsuit said.
Personally, I think he's just trying to raise some funds for his 2012 Presidential campaign.

B Obama said last night one of the things he was going to do was do away with frivolous lawsuits. He can start here.
Sounds like a Monty Python skit where John Cleese is "teaching" soldiers how to defend against attacks using various fruits (with a banana, for one).
$150,000 worth of out-of-pocket expenses after his Cadillac insurance paid up? What exactly did he get done...I'd want to see an itemized bill.
